The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Watanabe
It is a strange book written by elder brother of Kaoru Hasuike who is abductee.
Hasegawa
That's right.
At that time, Prime Minister Abe, then Deputy Secretary of State,
Five abductees who could return home he did not try to stop returning to North Korea, but because it did not bend the intention of five people to remain in Japan, as a result it wrote about the purpose of having them left them in Japan there.
Representative Ogata Rintarou picked it up and prayed for Prime Minister Abe, but Prime Minister Abe responded to that.
At that time it returned the victims of the five people back to North Korea, but I resolutely opposed, eventually the officials gathered in the Deputy Secretary Office of the Chief Cabinet and I decided not to return.
And then, "I do not want to say who is lying, but I say that the truth is that I will mention that with a lawmaker's badge. I will quit a Diet member if I am wrong."
It is the last extremity that the Prime Minister considers until it quits parliamentarians.
It was probably how anger came up.
Still it endures well, I think that Mr. Abe has responded to each one by one.
However, only the Sankei Shimbun covered this issue in detail, other paper rarely mention it and it is ignoring it.
Actually, it will be drawing water for one's own field, but I am in the February 10th issue of "AERA" 1997, a girl in Niigata city who disappeared twenty years ago, I wrote an article saying that Ms. Megumi Yokota was kidnapped by North Korea.
Watanabe
It will be coverage the earliest.
Hasegawa
Of course I wrote quite a bit of interview when writing this article.
I have learned the fact that they are ignoring it.
Some members of the National Assembly even made disturbing movements.
Meanwhile, Mr. Abe was one of the few politicians who was desperately struggling to solve the abduction issue in an alone and unaided situation.
I am not saying to flatter Mr. Abe at all, as a matter of fact, it can be said that thanks to Prime Minister Abe's efforts that only five people have been able to return.
Nonetheless, I ask questions of the prime minister of the country at the public place called the House of Representatives Budget Committee based on only the description of one piece that someone wrote.
It became desperate feeling.
Watanabe
Anyway, if it is "anti-Abe", there is a major trend in the opposition party, its supporters, the Asahi Shimbun and other major presses that it is good not to investigate well.
It is the same as saying that you don't have to look it up if you say bad things about Japan or the Japanese military before World War II.
It is the same as the attitude of the Asahi newspaper's comfort women's coverage.
